Carmen G. Sent on 05/26/2023fantastic experience with Heather
Heather was really great to work with! She was very responsive and resourceful. Even when things were stressful, Heather brought a calming presence. She was always available to answer questions. There was a power outage at our wedding and she handled it really well. Our wedding day went really smoothly all thanks to her and her team. -

David B. Sent on 12/02/2021Heather is an Amazing Planner!
My wife and I just wrapped our wedding with Heather and don't have enough words to express our gratitude and how much we would recommend Heather to others!
We met her at an open house for the LA River Center and our wedding was planned for April 2020. Well, covid and the universe had other plans for us but Heather wouldn't let that stop her and delivered big, skillfully navigating the craziness of Covid cancellations, postponements and pivots.
Throughout the planning phase, Heather helped us navigate vendor selection, review contracts and had tons of best & worst practices to share with us. Plus, when I threw out a random idea or wanted a specific late night taco truck, she did her damndest to make it happen. We basically had our entire wedding planned, then rebooked at the LA River Center for April 2021. Heather helped us get all of our vendors to cooperate and switch the date, and then when the April 2021 wedding was cancelled she got them all to honor our deposits for "a party to be determined at a future unknown date and location".
That location ended up being our backyard, and man was it a good party. For having rentals, flowers, dj, caterer, porto potty, photo booth, liquor delivery and all kinds of people in and out of my house, Heather managed it incredibly well and it was no where near as stressful or complicated of a process as it sounds.
Over the 2 years of knowing Heather and planning all different versions of our wedding she is a friendly and charming person to work with. It was a pleasure getting to know her and having her get to know us and our quirks to have a wedding that truly reflected us. And let me tell you, the day of a switch was flipped and she was in the freakin' zone! She was everywhere at once doing everything that needed to be done and things my wife and I wouldn't have dreamed of. She would pop up out of nowhere with a plate of hors d'oeuvres and a drinks for me and my wife and next second she'd be handling coordinating with the staff to break down tables to free up the dance floor.
She's awesome, incredibly well priced and worth every damn penny and more!Now & Forever Event Planning's reply:
David and Laurel if you could see my face you would see me blushing. Thank you for the incredibly kind words. It was my pleasure to help make your dream party come true. I can not wait for future opportunities to work with you. -
Talia Sent on 06/06/2018As weeks leading up to our wedding approached, family and friends asked me how I appeared so calm. I told them that because I have Heather, I have nothing to worry about. I cannot say enough positive things about Heather. She is highly skilled at what she does, and was professional and responsive in every encounter. Not only was she dedicated and efficient, she is a kind person who truly cares about your special day being perfect. She does everything in her power to make it exactly as you envision.
One thing in particular I want to acknowledge is on the day-of, our rabbi let us know that morning that we needed a frame for our Kattubbah. My fiancé and I were frantically trying to get ready and Heather said not to worry, that she would handle it. She bought us a frame for our kattubbah, and put out that potential fire. She also handled every minor unexpected thing (people not being happy with their assigned seats, unexpected guests, uninvited people, etc.) with care and competence.
If you need a coordinator (and you really do; it’s impossible to plan an entire wedding on your own) Heather is the person to call. She responds to texts, phone calls, and emails quickly and is always available. There were a few times I said to my husband that Heather makes me feel like I am her only bride because of the undivided attention she gives me. And that meant everything to me during the wedding planning! I have only the warmest things to say about Heather. Thank you for making our wedding exactly how we wanted!!Now & Forever Event Planning's reply:
I feel so privelaged to have been your coordinator. Thank you for the overwhelmingly kind words. -

Heather is Excellent!
I hired Heather about 3 months into wedding planning. The only thing I regret is not hiring her sooner. She is the ultimate problem solver, positive, and extremely organized. Everything you need for your special day. Heather went above and beyond to make our 300 person wedding spectacular. The week of the wedding she was my saving grace and even made several trips to my home and the venue to help iron out final details. She also has amazing contacts to vendors who have great respect for her and were amazing. Heather always came through with her recommendations and creative ideas. Our friends still ask us for her contact info because of how smoothly everything went. Hiring Heather as a part of your wedding planning team is truly priceless.Now & Forever Event Planning's reply:
Sarah,
This means so much to me. Because my business comes from happy clients like you Everytime you refer me it keeps me in business longer and doing what I love. Thank you for allowing me to make a beautiful memorable day for you. -

User1865620 Sent on 10/15/2014Heather was amazing! I called her to assist with a last-minute, fairly elaborate, surprise birthday party and she definitely saved the day! She is a Subject Matter Expert when it comes to event planning. All I did was tell her what I envisioned for the party and she made recommendations, suggestions and planned away - and I watched it all come to fruition! Heather's experience in event planning also made it easy when working with vendors for table, chair, lighting rentals, etc! She knew who to call and what to ask! She was also very flexible and patient! She was available whenever I called, emailed or texted (usually, I was in a bit of a panic) and she always came through with answers and the assistance that I needed! The day of the event, she and her team worked super hard and did an amazingly beautiful job setting up the birthday venue! I recommend Heather and her team to any who need assistance with wedding or event planning - you'll be more than pleased that you did! -
User908544 Sent on 08/22/2012My wife and I held our wedding reception at the LA River Center and Gardens in June 2012. We wouldn’t have been able to get through that day without the help of Heather and her assistants. She came through in so many ways for us and we can’t thank her enough for what she did.
We originally did not plan to have a wedding coordinator. Someone suggested to us that we should hire a day-of coordinator so that we wouldn’t have to worry about anything when the wedding day arrived. Being on a tight budget, we started researching for a day-of coordinator and we found Heather through a preferred vendors list our venue gave us.
When we met 6 months before our wedding, she came up with a long list of things we didn’t even think about! She assisted us with a very detailed timeline. We knew we were in great hands with a professional.
We met a couple more times making sure all of the important details were being addressed. Heather called and confirmed every single vendor we had and she provided instructions for the big day.
During the set-up of the reception, Heather and her staff PERFECTLY executed our vision of what the reception venue should look like. She also made sure that the bridal party was given food during the cocktail hour. The tables, candles, centerpieces, cake table… EVERYTHING was perfect. While we were resting in the bridal room during cocktail hour, Heather would periodically send updates and pictures to our phones, which we requested. During the reception, Heather made sure we ate first before visiting each table. She did everything possible to make sure the day went smoothly.
Getting our venue deposit back was really important to us and we found out that Heather went over and beyond by making sure we got the full amount back. She was worth every penny (and even more) and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. We received so many compliments for our wedding reception and i think it was all because of Heather’s hard work.
